Fun at Uncle Walter's

The children and their mother invited me to go along with them to visit Uncle Walter and Aunt Bee.
Uncle Walter is teaching Little Miss El the finer points of Sudoku.
Jimmy/Joey, Andy and Archie are smitten with Little Miss El.
Uncle Walter warmed the water to a pleasant 82 degrees with the Heatmore. We had fun swimming even though the skies were overcast and sometimes there was a drizzling rain. Even Little Miss El played in the water.
We played 'pirates' and took turns swimming between each other's legs.
The children are little fish!
After swimming, the children are so-o-o hungry, they just had to have a rice krispies treat...or two. And where are the dogs now?




Time to rest!


Before we swim again!




Aunt Bee feeding Little Miss El. Good luck with that, Aunt Bee!
Uncle Walter took us to a secluded farm pond to try our luck at fishing.
Remember, it's called 'fishing'; not 'catching'.

The rest of us were 'practicing'.

We had our share of rain.

K.K. got quite good at throwing out her line!





May we hold the fish, Uncle Walter?
I actually caught my first fish ever! I was so excited that I pulled the fish right out of the water and threw it over my head!
Aunt Bee got balloons for her birthday. Little Miss El was fascinated by the balloons but didn't want to get too close to them.
Once she got used to the balloons, she loved pinching them. I was surprised that one of them didn't break!
Thank you, Aunt Bee, for letting me play with your birthday balloons.



Thursday evening, the rain fell in buckets!
For as little rain as we have had in July so far, other than the hard rain storm we had at Caesar's Creek, we got over an inch of rain the two days we were visiting!






Aunt Bee is teasing Little Miss El to make her smile.
Uncle Walter saying good-bye to Little Miss El.
We have eaten. Hopefully, there will be a couple of sleeping children on the way home. The sun is shining, of course, because we are heading home; we did swim for a little bit this morning.
Uncle Walter has final instructions for us.
Don't 'hog' the baby, Uncle Walter!
What a fun visit with Uncle Walter and Aunt Bee!
Thank you, both!

Martha,

The grandkids are really growing up, aren't they?!! I can't believe Little Miss El is getting so grown up. They don't stay babies for too long.

When does K.K. start school? Nichole and Abbey start back to school on Aug. 11, which isn't too far away! Can't believe it. It seems like summer just got here!

Paula's boys don't start back until after Labor Day, which is what should happen with all the schools.
